Tracks include Advocacy & Minorities in Cannabis, Science & Technology, Marketing, Investment, and Retail Strategy. Some notable sessions include Minority-Driven Innovation, Multicultural Voices in Cannabis Law, and Hemp as a Native American Cash Crop.

A portion of the event's proceeds will support social impact partners, Last Prisoner Project (LPP), and Minorities for Medical Marijuana (M4MM). "Last Prisoner Project is honored to participate in the upcoming Emerge conference and grateful for the opportunity to host a conversation about social justice in the cannabis industry," noted Last Prisoner Project Managing Editor, Mary Bailey.

"Leveraging our connections in the technology sector, we wanted to create a unique virtual event that not only unifies the industry through technology but also addresses the need for social equity and corporate responsibility during this time of crisis," said Charles Warner, CEO of IPW and Editor-in-Chief of Cannabis & Tech Today.

The Emerge Virtual Cannabis Conference will unveil a captivating 3D virtual platform from Hyperfair, becoming the first company in North America to debut the technology in this type of event. It provides audiences the ability to engage and collaborate with life-like, interactive, customizable avatars.

"Emerge sponsors will have a virtual booth. Not a square in a Zoom meeting that represents a booth, but a life-like, customizable, navigable, 2D booth that avatar attendees walk in, and out of, to interact with your brand," Warner said. "It's like a video game - fun, engaging, and effective."

"What we've built is a living virtual reality ecosystem," said event co-producer and industry connector, Andre Bourque. "In addition to the 2-day conference, Emerge Conference Center & Expo Hall continue to host organizational meetings, day-long workshops, live entertainment and concerts, product launches, and other events over 90 days, providing sponsors a consistent flow of thousands of potential leads with a single event sponsorship for unprecedented ROI," added Bourque.

Working in collaboration with Let's Talk Hemp, Sensi Media, Cannabis LAB, Grasslands, MJ Venture, TNM News, National Association of Cannabis Businesses, Weed + Grub and Leafwire, the Emerge Conference will provide participants with a new way to connect, learn, and do business.
